Bunda Cliffs Lookout, SA

31.0°S 129.5°E

Named for the remarkable offshore limestone formation that resembles a sombrero floating in azure waters. Off-track tracks lead past stone cairns directly to the cliff edge, where 100-metre drops meet the roar of the Southern Ocean.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

— Psalm 19:1
